To all]; whom it mar concern:
Be it known thatI, WALTER J Brazilians, a citizen of the Unitedstatearesiding at M11- waukee, in the county of Milwaukee and State of Wisconsin, have invented a certain new and useful. Improvement inControllmg Apparatus,'ofwh1ch the following is a full, clear,
concise, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming apart'of this s ecification.
My invention re ates to means for regulating the operation of fluid-pumps, such as aircompressors, and is particularl well adapted U for'use in con unction with sue rpumps when bfy'means of an electric motor and 1 o erated uid-pump 1s used for malntalnmg a substantially uniform or constant pressure in a pressure system.
. My'invention is peculiarly useful in conlunction with pneumatic-pressure systems supplied by an air-compressor driven an electric motor, the operation of the electric motor being controlled by-tlse pressure in the neumatic-pressure system.
odiment of my'inventionmcans are providedwhereby a decrease in the pressure in the pneumatic-pressure system to a certain mimmum limit causes the closure of the motor-circuit, whereby the motor is operated to drive the aircompressor, whereby the pressure/m the pneumatic systenrls lncreas'ed.
'Means are also proyided whereby the increase in the pressure to a certain maximum limit causes va break in the motor-circuit, whereby the motor and the air-compressor connected therewith are brought to rest;
Where such a combination as I'have above described is employed, it is frequently found desirable to provide an automatic rheostat- It is theprincipal ob'ect of-my invention -to provide ,an improye means for relieving or e creasingthe-load upon the electric motor at starting, whereby the motor anay ,be brou hi; substantially to full speed'before the full cad of; the air-compressor is. brought 'upon the motor. ,The :motor may thus be brought approximately, to full s eed 'thout an undue rush of current throug the otor windings, due to the heav load of t e air-- compressor when'dlscharging into the pres sure system, v
' the brush es 13 13.
in such an em- -a pressure-controllcd switching device 30. This switching device ccmprises a Bourdcn.
The features of my invent. apparent by reference to drawing, diagrammati essential featu In the draw a i or. stratcd pipe 1%, comprising a part of the ticpressure system, OOilllfldllLcl with p rage-tent: 2.. An air-compressor 3, com rising a cylinder at, a piston 5, c0nnectingrcd ('3, crank 7, tion-vaives 8 8, and discharge-valves 9 9,512; adapted to supply the storage-tank 2 with compressed air, the ipe 10 serving to convey the compressed air rrcm the compressor 3 tothe tank 2. The air-compressor 3 has geared 7o connection with a suitable motor means, such as an-electric motor 11, comprising an arma-.-' 1' ture 12, upon the commutator'of which ride The series field-winding of this motor is diagrammatica'll illustrated at 14. The series windin is directly connected by means of the con uctor with the electric main 16. Conductors 1'7 and lead 7 through the coils 1.9 and and the sections and. 22 of a resistance-coil-and thrimgh the winding 23 of a slow-acting eiectromagnetic switching device 2 to a contact-shoe 25, this contact-shoe being adapted when in on its alternate positions to make electric nection with the contact-shoe .28, it adapted for connection with the main 27 by means of the main switch The pipe 29 leads from. the pressure-reservoir 2 to tube 31, connected with the pipe 29, there being a switcher-n1 32, connectedfby means f of the link 33, with the end of the tube 3i.
The switclii-arm 32 is connected, by meanscf a conductor 34, with the hoe 25. is. contactpoint 35 is connected, through a conduct'orfifiand the solenoid 37, with the contact-shne26,
' and contact-point38 is connected, through the conductor 39 and the solenoid 40, with the electrical main 1.6 A soft iron plunger 4 is mounted to oscillate within the solenoids 37 and 40, this. lunger 41 carrying, by means oi an arm 42, t e insulated contact-shoe l When the pressure in the pressure system dro s to a minimum limit, the Bcurdcu tube 31 ecomes curved, thereby actuating the 'switclrarm 32 to make connection :with the 32, conductor 34, electromagnet-coil 23, resistances 22 and 21, solenoids 20 and 19, con- =ductor 18, conductor 17, brush 13, armature '12, brush 13, series coil 14, and conductor to the main 16. The closure of this circuit through-the solenoid 37 causesan energizetion thereof, whereby the plunger 41 is attracted toward the left, thereby bringing the contact-shoe 25 into engagement with the contact-shoe 26, thereby short-circuiting at once the solenoid 37 to cause the de'energization' thereof; The closure of the circuit through the solenoids and 19 causes an energization thereof, whereby thesoft-iron cores 43 and 44 are attracted upward to raise and hold the suction-valves 8 S from their seats.
The automatic rheostat, if such be provided, is now bperatedto cut the resistances 22 and 21 out of the mo 'rcircuit. This rheostat acts in the following manner: the electromagnetrcoil 23, beingincluded in the motor-circuit through c contact-shoes and 26, is energized, thereby causing the up- Ward attraction of the soft-iron core 45. The rapid movement of this'core is prevented by means of a dash-pot 46 or othensuitable re straining means. Switch-contacts. 47 are presently closed by the upward movement of the core 45, thereby short-cir'cuiting the section 22 of the resistance through the electromagnet-coil 48. The energization of this electromagnet-coil in turn causes the upward attraction of the soft-iron core 49 against the restraining influence of the dash-pot 50 to close the electrical contacts 51, whereby the section'21 of the resistance-is short-circnited.
The closure of the contacts 51 causes the electromagnet-coil 52 to be cut into the circuit, whereby the same is energized to cause the upward attraction of the core 53', the
v movement of this core being restrained by i the dash-pot 54. Switch-contacts 55- are controlled by the upward movement of the core 53 to short-circuit the solenoids 1 9 and 20, whereby the same are deener ized t6 permit the closure of the suction-Va ves of the aircom ressor 3.
T e slow-acting electromagnetic device 55, which may act in conjunction with the automatic iheostat comprisin net'c devices 24 and 56 and t . e resistances 22 and 21, permits a considerable speed of the motor 11 to be attained before the sucelectromagtion-valves 8 8 of the air-compressor are ermitted to operate. While the suction-Va ves 8 S are maintained in their open condition by the energization of the solenoids 19 and 20, there is no discharge from the air-compressor into the storage-tank 2, and the load upon the air-compressor is practically nothing. While the suction-valves8 8 are maintained in their open condition, the discharge-valves 9 9 of the compressor are not operated by the movement of piston 5 through the cylinder valves ispermitted. The resistances 22 and 21 may, if desired, be normally included in the motor-circuit to restrict the supply of current to the motor at starting, and in the preferred embodiment of my invention, in which such an automatic rheostat is employed, the slowacting electromagnetic device 55 is not included in the circuit until after the- resistances 22 and 21 have been short-circuited and cut out. The automatic rheostat, however, may be dispensed with, whereby the current at starting is not restricted by extraneous resistances. In this case the solenoids 20 and 19 may be desirably included in the circuitwith the slow-acting electromagnetic device adapted after the lapse of a suitable interval of whereby the valves of the compressor-may be operated to permit a discharge from the com pressor into the storage-tank 2. After the motor has operated for a suitable length of time the pressure in the tank 2 may be brought up to a maximum limit, whereby the Bourdon tube 31 will have been suffitime to short-circuit or cut out these solenoids,
ciently straightened to' cause the switch-arm 32 to make electrical connection with the contact 38, thereby closing a circuitthrough the solenoid 40, whereby thesame is energized to attract toward the right the softiron core 41. The actuation of this auto-' matic switching device causes a break in the circuit through the electric motor, whereby the same is brought to rest.
The deenergization of the electromagnetcoils 23, 48, and 52, which are also included in the motor-circuit, permits the cores 45, 49, and 53 to drop back into their normal positions, thereb opening the associated switchcontacts anr cutting the solenoids and the resistances 21 and 22 into the motor-circuit,
While I have herein shown and described a preferred embodiment of my invention, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that inany mddification's may be employed without departing from the spirit thereof, I do not, therefore, wish to limit myself to the precise disclosure herein set forth; but,
